    This was the best NES game i had since i had own one back when i was 8 years old. I got my first NES for christmas back in 1989. I had this game and Knight Rider. But this game was the best. It took me awhile to get the the 4th boss after that never went any further. I would lose, the game just got more harder to play. im such a loser. lol but i now i have an Nintendo Emulator on my computer and i play it now. Trying to get passed the 4 boss. lol Its cool too look back at the favourte games i played back in my days. I thought at that time the graphics was awesome. Even the music i was really jammin too. lol Im gonna play now!!

    way back when I was young this was like one of my favorite games for the NES but I could never beat it the crab boss was sooooo hard, but maybe like a year ago in a college dorm we popped out our NES and I just played it for like a week and a half keep trying to beat it I spent lots of free time on it and finally beat the game and it was great.

    The best I can usually do is get to 5, I either die all my lives or my NES craps out...

    Wow. Blaster Master was one of my favorite games as a kid, even though I was absolutely awful at it. In your 7 minute video you managed to get about as far in the game as I ever could in hours of gameplay. Nice work.

    I read the novel they wrote based on the book as a child... Lol...

    I still have that book! It's still a pretty easy read and captures the game pretty well.

    good review . I enjoy seeing these classic games. I played alot of NES games, but I don't think i've ever played that one. Looks fun for it's time though.

    Getting the NES to start....good ol' times LOL
